Amber Joy formally trained in furniture restoration, with a specialism in marquetry at Buckinghamshire New University before studying French marquetry at the prestigious École Boulle, Paris. She went on to work with laser cut marquetry at a high-end furniture company.

She now runs Amber Joy | Creative Studio, creating acrylic and marquetry shop products for Cultural and Heritage sites such as Brighton Pavilion, Coventry Cathedral and the National Theatre. Amber has amalgamated her love of the historic craft of marquetry, with laser cutting techniques to create contemporary and accessible artworks.

When not in the workshop, she works as a Creative Facilitator, teaching a range of craft courses across the South East.
